Progress is being made on that front. Not only might you get netISO, but the dev who came up with cci images on the OG Xbox is working on doing that via netISO as well. So compressed 360 ISO/SVOD/GOD support, via network. Initial server stuff is finished, but we need to make something that can be built for embeded devices, so you can install it to your NAS/router....... And we still need to add support for OG xbox games, but since the guy who figured out the compression is working on it, I dont think that is really going to be an issue...... Hell, who knows, we might just add plain iso support for stuff like dvd images as well. lol. I dont think that would really be that hard after the fact. That being said, even if we do get all of that stuff done, there are still other things to address as well. We had plans for the next official release, then life happened, and it would be nice to pick up where we left off there. And with new features come new bugs. So there will be a ton of testing....... I am hopeful we have something interesting by christmas, at least internally. But that is also dependent of peoples time to work on the project, and says nothing about a release timeline. Just that we are trying to find time for the project, and keep it alive.

ConnectX works fine, you just need a smb server that works with v1 protocol. NetISO is in development, and at this rate may never be finished. There isnt a ton of interest in coding on the 360 from the original team, since we all have other projects and lives. From what was there, it does work better than connectX, but the server side needs a ton of work, and we need to figure out how to integrate the stuff into aurora, and not just the plugin. It was a very early proof of concept thing at the time of 0.7b release, and minimal work has been done on it sense.

So I just RGH3 my Trinity Xbox 360, and I have a hacked PS2 & PS3 that can both load games off the network storage server, but I cannot figure it out for the 360. I am on the latest Aurora 0.7b.2, DashLaunch 3.21, XEXMenu 1.1, and Neighborhood setup. I cannot for the life of me find any solid info on netiso or connectx that isn't very old, is there no way to load games from a network location on the latest Aurora? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, GW2

Thanks for this update and very happy to see Netiso is still being worked on. My synology is waiting patiently for it and using extracted jtag format with connectx meanwhile

OK, I'll try "netiso". Thanks for your help and advice.

The Plugin is basically a dll with a ton of extra features(WebUI, Link, disc swaping, netISO(Not in release version, IFDEF'ed out), HUD changes, etc.....) As for SDK's, yes, you need the 360 XDK to compile any apps for the 360, and Visual studio 2010/2012..... depends on version of XDK. As for the source for aurora, that isnt public, and probably wont be for a while. We have been dealing with FSD code leaks, someone else decided to post the code on github without permission, so we have been doing dmca stuff mainly to protect the code, so we can clean it all up, and release it ourselves.

Connectx is being replaced by netiso When i dunno.. and you answered your own question.. update 1 mate.. cant distribute it here Edit: and you obviously didnt google at all.. here is a hint.. add the 3 letters "rgh" to your search 😉

@StelioKontos Can you give us a hint about when Netiso might be released We've been waiting for it for a long time

@SnakeDante Try replacing the 'Plugins' folder inside your Aurora directory with the one included in the official download at http://phoenix.xboxunity.net/downloads/Aurora 0.7b.2 - Release Package.rar. Reboot, then check the update screen and it should show everything up to date. @moses_373 @yongbi not abandoned, no. Releasing an update with NetIso is the plan, just realize we all have bills, jobs, and for some of the team, families also, which obviously impacts how fast things happen here.

So we may get NetISO after all? I'm blown away that things are still being worked on, thanks Gavin!

Thanks for the fix. I thought the whole project had been abandonned. Now i can be hopeful again to see Netiso coming one day !

Eject via hud. done. no need to edit aurora. That being said, we have no plans to add support for extra functionality for things like Xkey at this time. Chances are, netISO release is going to get in the way of that anyway....

Hi Aurora recently had an update. Any news on this NetISO, is anyone still working on it? Happy New Year

Are you guys still working on NetISO support? If not, could I get the source code? I would love to bring that feature to completion for the community here!

Just saw that the dev stopped... too bad i must admit i was waiting patiently for NetISO (i use a NAS for iso loading through connectx atm but ye SMB version is full of vulnerabilities, tho it’s just a home server so as long as no one breaches in my network i’m safe)

You dont have to put GOD formatted games in the content folder. DLC yes, but Aurora will launch the game fine from the folder that is scanned for games. This sounds like a content patch issue, or a file corruption issue. As for dissassembling nova, not sure what the point in that would be unless you were looking for the netISO code, which was disabled for a reason. lol.

Been messing with my PS2 lately & loved the idea of loading games via SMB with OPL. Just wished the 360 had something similar, & just found it has.... For awhile too with ConnectX.... But, Im not sure whether or not to test it out now or wait for Netiso. Hopefully everything is going well on it & have a release in the near future.

Thanx alot @gavin_darkglider ive gotta question any eta on NETISO sounds good and promising lol 😁

Aurora works with a database, so generally speaking it is a bad idea to try to downgrade, without starting with a fresh install. As for the fixes for ConnectX, you are speaking about, in the latest version, they dont fix the plugin, just made it so if the xex wasnt in the plugins folder the option doesnt show up in the options meny. On top of that, the other fix that was added was the option to unload connectX. Personally, if you ask me compared to NetISO, connectX isnt even worth wasting the time, but we havnt released that to the general public yet, due to it not being complete server side, and there needs to be connection error handling. That being said, with NetISO, the games load 1000X faster than they do with ConnectX, and you dont have to extract iso files. It also works with GOD format, which is nice as well, and when using it, you can rip the game from the iso to your hard drive, as well, which gets rid of the need to extract to install as well. Long story short, the issues with connectX will never be fixed, as it is just a patched plugin for a devkit. We have no control over the inner workings of the plugin, so we cant update it to work with the latest SMB protocols. Basically you are forced to use SMB protocols from 2002 on your server for it to connect, and those are flawed. Just my 2 cents.

im rebuild my unraid server and would like to know what would be the requirements for netiso as i may need to abject my build inorder to include it. and is there going to be a linux verison i know there ways talk about haveing the program netiso server be open source. if a linux version is made i can try my hand of making a unriad docker for it

could we maybe get a nibble of whats being worked on right now or maybe something new coming to the table something like a teaser of a teaser been quite on here lately. i love the last release and in noway saying get back to work or put out a update if this was the last update i be fine with that. i just know its not from your guys talk. i cant wait for netiso to come out (actually i can wait ) i just mad ea unraid sever and love to use it for my 360 i already use it for my ps2 ps1 games (opl) now if only some one would make a wii game streaming program then i could get rid of the usb hdd on the wii. anyway love your guys work playing on donating when i get paid. have you guys thought of patreon. just wandering i be will to pledge some each mouth anything to help. also when i come on here and read post about when will it come out or just release it now i find that so ignorant, i mean its not yours to dictate. thats so like the uk say usa give me all coke products right now for free its no there call its yours. i also wanted to ask this i know this is not going open source for many reasons as i can read old post and just just ask and be lazy. but will you guy open it up once all of you deside one day ya we're done. not going to work with it anymore, im moving on the xbox one. i would just hate for it to get lost that way. like with the original xbox i like User Interface X and the just give up and after a while some one got the beta of uix 2 but was buggy and unfinished and if that had the source there was a guy saying he try to complete it. i just hate for that to repeat itself with this project. but at the end of the day its your call, not mine, or anyone elses. just been wanting to ask this for a while. ps sorry for mistakes in the writing as im on my phone with some loud kids running around me so plz forgive me -jen

It is mainly just bug fixes. Stuff the community found, that the testers missed. A few tranlation bugs, removes NetISO from HUD for now. It also adds a lot of the community translation files, since the team is lacking in translators. It should also fix the RSS feed bugs that have been randomish.

eh i was just curious. i thought Netiso was going to be service provided by you guys.

Hasn't happened for Aurora, why would it happen for NetISO?

I just wanted to say THANKS!! To the people involved in this project, it's awesome how everything has evolved. Aurora works perfectly fine, all the options available are really useful. I want to ask too about what is netISO, haven't found anything related online. And also will like to know more about the implementation of some sort of communication platform in link (as I read is being worked on). That would be great, as of right now is the only thing that I've missed :) Thanks a lot guys!!!!! ps/ to the whoever say shit about aurora..... F*ck you!!!!!!! ;)
